hi
You have build your formicarium self and the Idea is good.
But this is to small. Lasius niger and Messor need a large place.
I think, 3month ago and your box is complete full.
Pls use a larger box.

I have a Pheidole colony and my Arena is L/W/H 28x35x29cm and my Farm is 88x25x1cm.
Pheidole is one, from the smallest ants.

You can start with this box but you need very fast a second box.

Sry for my english. Far far away is my schooltime.
